Indeed.
I have a LaserJet IIISi, currently in storage.
It's big and heavy, and, yes, monochrome, but it's a tank. I actually
had a capacitor (power-supply filtering, I think) fail on one of the
boards, years back. It arced enough to eat away a substantial chunk of
the PCB. But I cleaned off that corner, replaced the cap, and it went
right back to working. If I were to drag it out (and, possibly,
replace the drum and toner - I have a fuzzy memory it was ghosting
badly), I would expect it to work fine once again.
